The ISRFC Lambs have named their U16 squad to face Boys Club of Wales on Sunday, their first game of the season.

Last weekend the U16s held their final trials at Wisbech Grammar School ahead of the U18s’ game against Yorkshire, which they won comfortably.

This week the U16s are again sharing a venue with the senior Lambs side, Aylesbury RFC’s new artificial surface. The U16s will kick off against Boys Club of Wales at 14.00 before the U18s then take over at 15.30, you can see the U18 side for that fixture here: U18 ISRFC Lambs v Boys Club of Wales.
